While Hawke's Bay hosted a wet break in the high summer temperatures the Met Service says the rain is leaving us. An easterly breeze will push the precipitation inland. Normal summer weather patterns will resume as we climb back into the 30's early next week.

About Me

Elephanza is a collection of my random thoughts and opinions. I like asking questions and learning new things. I enjoy photography, family, blogging and politics.
In my offline life, I take photographs and video for Hawke's Bay Today, a daily newspaper.
I regularly attend Bay City Outreach Centre, a local church, and my wife Linda and I operate Duncan Brown Photography, a commercial and portrait photography business. We have four grown-up children.
In my spare time, I take photos for fun and was on the board of trustees at Hastings Girls' High School for 12 years (2004-2016).
